Sameea Ali MBA, SHRM-CP reacted on thisSameea Ali MBA, SHRM-CP reacted on this36 job rejections. A university rejection. Twelve days in detention. Today, Kona is a university student in Malaysia. It took us three years to get here. She arrived in Dubai hoping for a better future. When finding work became impossible, we tried universities. Another rejection. More closed doors. Through it all, she helped care for our rescued cats. After feeding stray cats in Zabeel Park, she spent 12 days in detention for breaching local feeding rules. I reached out for help, and Rita Sanna was the only person willing to step in. I took out a loan to pay for lawyers. I’m still repaying it. Eventually, a university in Malaysia accepted her. But then came visa problems, more delays and the struggle to pay for her education. The shy young woman who could barely introduce herself started attending networking events and messaging strangers, asking them to buy a book. One message reached Rita Sanna , who shared it with her WhatsApp groups. That’s how Diego Falanga from Checkout.com heard her story. Diego committed to covering her entire university education and helped her through every step until she reached Malaysia. Rita and Diego, thank you for changing her future. And Kona, I’m so proud you never gave up. People will see a young woman starting university. I know what it took to get her there, because I was beside her through every rejection, every setback and every attempt to find a way forward. Kona started university. That is the short version.

With limited resources and difficult circumstances, he is determined to keep learning and working toward his dream of becoming a doctor. His story is a powerful reminder that education, hope, and determination can endure even in the darkest times. May Allah SWT protect the people of Gaza, ease their suffering, and grant students the opportunity to build a brighter future. #Palestine #Gaza #MedicalStudent #Education #Hope #Resilience #KeepLearning #PalestinianStudents #Humanity #ShineNation

Sameea Ali MBA, SHRM-CP reacted on thisSameea Ali MBA, SHRM-CP reacted on thisJad Issa, a Syrian father with Down syndrome, spent 25 years working at a wheat mill to support his family and help his son, Sader Issa, achieve his dream of becoming a dentist. Despite the challenges he faced, Jad remained dedicated to providing his son with the education and opportunities needed to build a successful future. Sader has spoken proudly about his father’s sacrifices, love, and constant support throughout his journey. Jad, in turn, takes immense pride in his son’s achievement, often introducing him as a doctor. Their story is a powerful reminder that a parent’s love, hard work, and determination can make a lasting difference in a child’s life. #Syria #InspiringStory #DownSyndrome #FatherSonBond #Humanity

Sameea Ali MBA, SHRM-CP liked thisSameea Ali MBA, SHRM-CP liked thisThe recruiting market right now is insane. We're seeing an overwhelming amount of demand for great talent and for our services. As recruiters, that's a great problem to have, right? But there's a flip side. Everyone who's exceptional at their craft is being inundated with opportunities. And all these AI sourcing tools? They're not necessarily making recruiting better. They're making everyone's inboxes louder. More outreach. More noise. More competition for the same exceptional people. Access to talent has never been easier. Winning talent has never been harder. Companies need to understand the moment they're operating in. If you have someone exceptional in your funnel, you need to move with urgency. They're interviewing elsewhere. They have other offers. And they're evaluating you just as much as you're evaluating them. The stakes are high, and the opportunity cost has never been greater: For talent joining the wrong companies. For companies hiring the wrong people. And for both, working with the wrong recruiters. This is a market built for and won by exceptional recruiters. Everything else is just noise.

CHALLENGE
One of our clients was distressed as 2 of their tax team members had left right around the busy tax season and they needed to fill those roles urgently. (Or should I say they wanted those resources “yesterday!”)
ACTION
I posted those roles on all available platforms and tapped into the pipeline of candidates that I regularly maintained, reached out to my contacts within the industry and was able to get in 5 candidates for an interview the next day. We fast tracked the hiring and onboarding process and the candidates were settled at the client in a week.
RESULT
In addition to the 2 open roles, our client got a third position approved because they saw potential in another candidate as well. -

All service lines were doing their own hiring, there were shadow HR departments within each service line where the Human Resource coordinators would recruit people and the main HR was never consulted and only considered an admin department for new employee paperwork. My biggest challenge was to gain the confidence of all service line leaders and build a Human Resources business partner relationship with them.
ACTION
I met with the directors and leaders of all service lines about how I could help them recruit quality talent, save time and resources, and take the hiring work off their backs. I agreed to do the full cycle recruitment and they would only need to be a part of the panel interviews and share feedback.
RESULT
I started receiving 5-10 job requisitions from every service line (Tax, Consulting, Assurance, Transaction Advisory & Core Business Services) within a month and closed those roles successfully.
